Abstract Despite the well-established need to measure and address the growing issue of disparities among older minority populations, little is known about the prevalence and correlates of disability, morbidity, and mortality among older US Pacific Islander adults. This paper discusses culturally appropriate approaches for conducting evidence-based research on a representative probability sample of older Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults interviewed as part of the Pacific Islander Health Study and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander National Health Interview Survey. Important strategies that increase response rates and respondent participation when engaging this multi-ethnic and culturally diverse special population in research are highlighted. The model describes successful methodologies that combine CBPR approaches of community engagement with more traditional survey design methods. The findings from this work emphasizes the importance of representative data on hard-to-survey populations to illustrate granular differences in health outcomes within underrepresented populations that are not reflected in national health surveys.

The experiences and the everyday life stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth who are also Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) are not well-known or documented in the literature about LGBT or AANHPI communities. To help address this lack of information and knowledge, this article highlights some of the issues that these youth face and offers recommendations regarding data collection, cultural competency, and utilization of an intersectional lens of race/ethnicity and sexual orientation to ensure changes will be considered to policies that affect these populations. The policy recommendations focus on issues such as bullying and sexual and reproductive health.
